Former Michigan football star Braylon Edwards reportedly had a battery complaint filed against him over the weekend after an alleged altercation at a Detroit-area nightclub.

According to TMZ, which obtained video of the incident, Edwards got into a verbal spat with a man trying to take his photograph outside the nightclub. From there, Edwards can be seen grabbing the man's ankles and flipping him to the ground, face first.

According to the report, the photographer then filed a battery complaint with area police.

"The reports are blasphemy," Edwards wrote. "Was joking with friends and a guy was filming us. I asked him to delete it, he said no. He wasn't harmed at all. ... Also there were many officers in attendance at the alleged incident, and never stepped in, because there was no wrong doing.

"This is another case of some1 trying to 'come up' off a persons status. My name will be cleared of this nonsense soon. Story is ridiculous."

The former Michigan star is currently without an NFL team after being waived by the New York Jets in August.

The eight-year NFL veteran, and Michigan's all-time leading receiver, has made 349 receptions for 5,397 yards and 40 touchdowns as a professional.
